An LBSCR L class is almost top of my list, despite the earlier mentioned issues. That is after a K class has been built. I'd also like to see a...
Thank goodness its out of BR livery, but oh how it would look better with the tender correct. Hopefully Stowe will appear in the same livery to...

None of you noticed the :) in my posting then! I don't like BR liveries, and I don't care for double chimneys, but I was joking about removing...
Anything that sees a pre-nationalisation loco back in action in pre-nationalisation livery is a good thing in my book. Now, if Tyseley could just...
Preservation standards and its trustee, are meant to ensure that work is done to a suitable standard, and stations retain their period...
I'm glad the elephant van is being restored, but Horsted Keynes is completely the wrong place to have it in that livery. It may be correct, but...

Magnificent, congratulations to those who have done the work. We need more of this sort of thing! Daniel
Now that is exactly the sort of thing I like to see come out of the Great Western Society! None of that BR livery rubbish. If only the King could...
Those were the days, when preserved locos were quickly repainted into pre-grouping or grouping liveries. What was the bell doing on 3442? Daniel
Because the people paying for it want it that way. Unfortunately for them, they didn't suggest a compromise of BR black for the first half of the...

Thanks Owd Sweedy, fascinating pictures. Interesting to see the two condensing pipes and the blastpipe, would love to see how that all works in...
31806 was built as one, so could always be back converted. Its currently has the BR period front end frames and cylinders, but that could be...
